What Is Notes In The Attar/Perfume? Top Notes Top notes, sometimes referred to as headnotes, form the top layer of a fragrance. In other words, top notes are the scents you detect first after spraying a perfume. These play a role in setting first impressions and shaping a fragrance’s story. Top notes usually evaporate quickly, lingering around for only the first five to fifteen minutes. Their main purpose is to give off an initial scent and then transition smoothly into the next part of the fragrance. As a result, top notes generally consist of lighter and smaller molecules. Some common top notes include citrus scents – like lemon, orange, and bergamot – as well as light floral notes like lavender and rose. Basil and anise are also commonly used as top notes. Middle Notes As the name suggests, heart notes make up the “heart” of the fragrance. Their function is to retain some of the top notes’ aroma while also introducing new scents to deepen the experience. Sometimes referred to as middle notes, the heart notes also serve as a buffer for the base notes, which may not smell as pleasant on their own. Because they make up around 70 percent of the total scent, heart notes usually last longer than top notes. Heart notes appear as the top notes start to fade and remain evident for the full life of the fragrance. Heart notes include full-bodied, aromatic floral oils like jasmine, geranium, neroli and ylang-ylang, as well as cinnamon, pepper, pine, lemongrass, black pepper and cardamom. Base Notes Along with middle notes, base notes form the foundation of the fragrance. They help boost the lighter notes while adding more depth and resonance. Since they form the perfume’s foundation, base notes are very rich, heavy and long-lasting. They kick in after about 30 minutes and work together with the middle notes to create the fragrance’s scent. Since base notes sink into your skin, their scent lingers the longest and can last for six hours or more. Popular base notes include vanilla, amber, musk, patchouli, moss and woody notes like sandalwood and cedarwood. Fragrance Pyramid A perfume’s notes can be separated into three basic categories: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. Notes at the top of the pyramid have a higher volatility (they evaporate faster), while notes at the bottom are longer-lasting. Top Note Family Fresh notes are light and citrusy in nature, making them popular as top notes. Notes like orange and bergamot give a fragrance its freshness and sweetness, while lemon and bergamot have a more bitter sharpness. Heart Notes Floral notes add a natural feel to a fragrance. They are often used as top or heart notes and can be mixed with other notes for a more dramatic scent. Jasmine is another popular floral note with its fruity and white floral scent, while ylang ylang adds a more tropical touch. Fruity notes are most commonly used as middle notes, as they blend easily with other notes and can add more depth to a fragrance. For example, blackberry adds a rich, musky scent, while notes like apple and strawberry give off a sweet and juicy vibe.

Notes like cinnamon and nutmeg add spice and sweetness, while others like rosemary and basil possess an herbal quality. Sandalwood and patchouli are two wood notes that are often used in a fragrance’s base to strengthen the scent’s lifetime. While most wood notes have an earthy quality, some like cedarwood and oud provide a nice sweet scent. Musky notes are most frequently found in the base notes of fragrances. Their richness helps to fill in the foundation and increase the duration of the scent. The different types of musk, from black musk to cashmere musk, means that these scents can add a unique trait to any fragrance. Fragrance Pyramid Top Note Heart Note Base Note JANNATUL ITRA Fragrance Wheel Use this simple fragrance wheel as a guide. The darker scents (oriental and woody) are usually reserved for evening. Lighter scents (floral and citrus/fresh) are more appropriate for daytime use. Just like your wardrobe, fragrances should be changed out with the seasons. Why is this? Just as heavier fabrics and darker colours are associated with cooler weather, so “winter” fragrances may be too “heavy” for warmer weather. “Summer” fragrances are designed to work better in hot, humid weather than in cold, dry climates. Here are some suggestions for changing your perfume with your wardrobe: Winter Fragrances: Use perfumes/attars with deep musky notes like oriental and woody scents. Florals should be full-bodied. Layer the scent so it lasts longer in winter.Summer Fragrance: Use perfumes/attars with lighter florals, citrus, oceanic, or gourmand (food) scents. Reserve the heavier fragrances for evening parties when the air is cooler.
